Velvet Tears

(Velvet tears on satin sheets,
Falling quiet, falling sweet.)

(Verse 1)
You said forever in a whisper,
Then left me dancing with the dust.
You wore your lies like silver glitter,
And I mistook them all for trust.
I still taste your name in my reflection,
Perfume and pain, the same obsession.
Guess some goodbyes don’t fade —
They just find new ways to stay.

(Pre-Chorus)
I play your voice like a song I hate,
But can’t turn off, it’s too late.

(Chorus)
Velvet tears on satin sheets,(satin sheets)
Falling quiet, falling sweet.(falling sweet)
I dress my pain in shades of gold,
Pretend it’s beauty, not the cold.
You broke my heart so gracefully,
Like art in slow catastrophe.
Velvet tears — they shine, they sting,
A masterpiece of suffering. 
Ohohohhoohohohoohoo
Velvet tears — they shine, they sting,
A masterpiece of suffering. 
Ohohohhoohohohoohoo

(Verse 2)
I kept your sweater for the weather,
The one that smelled like “maybe someday.”
It’s funny how the softest things,
Are always first to fade away.
I write our story in perfume notes,
A love that bled through all my clothes.
You were the calm before my storm,
And I was fire keeping warm.

(Pre-Chorus)
Now I wear my hurt like silk,
Pretty lies in poisoned milk.

(Chorus)
Velvet tears on satin sheets,(satin sheets)
Falling quiet, falling sweet.(falling sweet)
I dress my pain in shades of gold,
Pretend it’s beauty, not the cold.
You broke my heart so gracefully,
Like art in slow catastrophe.
Velvet tears — they shine, they sting,
A masterpiece of suffering.
Ohohohhoohohohoohoo
Velvet tears — they shine, they sting,
A masterpiece of suffering. 
Ohohohhoohohohoohoo

(Bridge)
Maybe I was born for tragic love,
For roses that draw blood.
But I’d rather ache in velvet pain,
Than never feel your name again. 

Ohohohohoohohooooo

(Chorus)
Velvet tears on satin sheets,(satin sheets)
Falling quiet, falling sweet.(falling sweet)
I dress my pain in shades of gold,
Pretend it’s beauty, not the cold.
You broke my heart so gracefully,
Like art in slow catastrophe.
Velvet tears — they shine, they sting,
A masterpiece of suffering.
Ohohohhoohohohoohoo
Velvet tears — they shine, they sting,
A masterpiece of suffering. 
Ohohohhoohohohoohoo

Velvet tears on satin sheets,(satin sheets)
Falling quiet, falling sweet.(falling sweet)
I dress my wounds in diamond light,
Pretend the dark still feels like right.
You broke my heart so carefully,
Like love was your best gallery.
Velvet tears — they burn, they gleam,
A haunting, bittersweet dream.
